I think a couple of different constructs have been brought up in this

Minor comment. Note that according to

Expressing Qualified Dublin Core in HTML/XHTML meta and link elements
http://dublincore.org/documents/dcq-html/

the prefered way of embedding this kind of information in XHTML using the Dublin Core would be of the form

<meta name="DC.rights"
content="(c) University of Bath, 2005" />
<link rel="DCTERMS.license"
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/"; />

As an aside, there is a brief paper at

http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/dc-odrl/

which provides an overview of the rights-related properties in Dublin Core.
